About Caroll Rug
Caroll Rug started with 40 area rugs displayed in just a few square feet. Within a few years, Caroll Rug grew to be Western New York’s largest retailer of area rugs housing over 1,000 area rugs in a new, contemporary 4000 square foot showroom, and earning Buffalo’s first ROY Award from the Oriental Rug Association as the “Retailer of the Year”.
The Caroll Rug showroom, which features all 1,000 area rugs hung on automated racks so customers can shop independently, is unlike any other in the country. At Caroll Rug we offer customers both traditional and contemporary hand made and machine made rugs from casual to traditional with price points for every budget.
Due to customer demand, Caroll Rug has added quality wall-to-wall carpeting from popular manufacturers like Nourison, Masland and Couristan. We plan to expand even further to meet our customers needs and desires, and will continue to stay on the cutting edge to better serve our customers.
At Caroll Rug we won’t sell rugs over the web, because we believe you have to see it, touch it and try it out to be certain you’ll love it. Come on in and find your rug right here today.
